Semiconductors · Reading, United Kingdom · Founded 2017

Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC) is a quantum computing company that spun out of the University of Oxford in 2017. The company specializes in superconducting quantum hardware and has developed proprietary technology in this area. OQC's primary business model is providing Quantum Computing as-a-Service (QCaaS). This allows clients to access and utilize quantum computing capabilities through various models, including direct access, managed services, cloud platforms, and in colocation data centers. This approach aims to make quantum computing more accessible to a broader range of industries. The company's technology is based on its unique 'Coaxmon' qubit architecture. OQC has launched the UK's first QCaaS platform and is expanding its services in Europe and Asia. The company's solutions are targeted at businesses looking to solve complex problems and develop new approaches in areas like climate change and artificial intelligence. OQC has secured significant funding, including the UK's largest ever Series B round in the quantum computing sector, which is being used to further its research and development and to scale its operations.
